The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company has cancelled two Manannan sailings between Douglas and Larne, according to its sailing status page on 13 October.

The affected sailings, with times given in island time, are:

06:45 Douglas to Larne (Manannan): cancelled
10:45 Larne to Douglas (Manannan): cancelled

The operator has not stated a reason for the cancellations on its sailing status page. The page does not specify a date for the sailings, so passengers should confirm which day’s crossings are affected.

The page also carries a separate notice headed “Manxman Dry dock Extension update”. The Steam Packet has not linked that notice to the Larne cancellations on the sailing status page.

Passengers booked on either crossing should contact the Steam Packet directly, or check its website, for the latest information on their booking before travelling.
